BuyerCornelis Claesz.
Buyer FamilyClaesz., Cornelis
Buyer NotesCornelis Claesz. was a book dealer and print dealer of South Netherlandish origin, born about 1551, active in Amsterdam from 1578 to his death in 1609 (Briels, Zuidnederlandse boekdrukkers 1974, p. 600 and J. Giskes in Jaarboek Amstelodamum 86(1994), p. 59). In 1606, when the book dealer Michiel Colijn bought lots in the Haarlem lottery, he gave his address as Op 't Water bij Cornelis Claesz. in het Schryftboeck. (Note, however, that Barent Adriaensz. Hartogvelt's bookshop, het Gulden Schryfboeck was on the Warmoesstraet.) At the sale of books held at the request of Esaias van Someren on 9 April 1609, Cornelis Claesz. bought a number of unbound books and multiple prints. He may have been the son of Mr. Claes Pietersz. school master, of INVNO 829, at which he bought letters (fount ?), a book and a map. Cornelis Claesz. published the first book on the Dutch expedition to Nova Zembla of 1596-1597. A catalogue of the prints he had for sale was recently discovered in the library of Wolfenbuettel (Maandblad Amstelodamum 67(1980), p. 135). He was also one of the earliest publishers of music books (Giskes, op. cit.) He is known to have had several apprentices, including both Laurens Jacosz. and his son Hendrick Laurens (or Laurentius), also a printer, the brother of predikant Jacob Laurentius of R 23781. He was buried in the O.K. on 26 May 1609 (I. van Eeghen in Jaarboek Amstelodamum 64(1972), p. 81). His widow Catharina (Trijn) Garbrants moved to Enkhuyzen after his death. The large proceeds of an auction of books and prints that was held after the death of Cornelis Claesz. in late 1609 or early 1610 (the records of which have disappeared) were paid to her in installments. The sale was so important that, according to a notarial act of 29 May 1610, it attracted buyers from abroad and from many other cities, who were disappointed when the sale was delayed (Van Eeghen, op. cit. p. 82). On 10 August 1610, Catharina Garbrants, assisted by Jodocus Hondius (the publisher) accepted Abraham de Marees of INVNO 300 as the guarantor for a sum of 15,000 f. for books bought by Willem Jansz. Blaeu at her husband's sale (ibid.). She died in Enkhuysen on 18 November 1625.

BuyerJan Evertsz.
Buyer FamilyEvertsz., Jan (Cloppenburgh)
Buyer NotesThe buyer is probably the book printer Jan Evertsz. Cloppenburgh. Cloppenburgh, whose establishment was eventually located in de Vergulden Bijbel in the Warmoesstraet, published various travel books, including the description of the voyage of Jan Huygen Linschoten in 1614 and a pamphlet estimating the booty taken by the Silver Fleet in 1629 (C. Romburgh, Beredeneerd Register op de Werken der Linschoten-Vereeniging, p. 137.) He was born about 1571 and was buried on 10 March 1658 (Nederlandsche Leeuw 44(1926), col. 316). In 1606, Jan Evertsz. Cloppenburch, bookbinder, bought lots in the Haarlem lottery for 3 f. 12 st. He was living by de oude brug (GAA, 12/32 F 83). This was the Oude Brugsteeg near the Water (present day Damrak), where several book sellers, including Jan Theunisz., Michiel Colijn (of R 22123), and Jacob Aertsz. Colom (of R 33555) were located. He married Annetje Pieters and, after her death, on 16 June 1640, Susanna Aerssen. His daughter Catharina, born about 1598, married Emanuel Colyn (of R 24926) on 22 July 1622 Nederlandsche Leeuw 44(1926, col. 315). His daughter Elisabeth married Harmen Verwou. His son Everhard married Anna Sweers, born in Bergen about 1617, on 21 July 1640 (ibid.) In 1631, Jan Evertsz. Cloppenburch, living op 't Water, was taxed 90 f. (Kohier, fol. 37 vo,, p. 10). On 29 March 1640, Jan Evertsz. Cloppenburgh, book seller, presented his two children of minor age before Orphan Chamber -- Pieter, 20, and Cornelia, 18-- whose mother was Anna Pieters, and declared that they were entitled to 10,000 f. for their mother's inheritance. They also stood to inherit various, plates, cunst (probably prints), and other. Also mentioned were Catherina Cloppenburch, widow of Emanuel Colijn, Everard Cloppenburch, resp. the sister and the brother, and Herman Vermout (or Verwou), the brother-in-law of the children (WK 5073/789).
